Bishop’s ‘uncompromising Catholic presence’ praised
To the editor:
I read with mixed emotions an article in the March 22 issue of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel titled “Supporters lobby for Catholic lay worker in Beloit.” As I expected, Bishop Morlino had once again made an executive decision based on the teachings of the Catholic Church and not on the latest popularity poll.
President could speak, but don’t give him a degree
To the editor:

To the editor:
The Hyde Amendment and over a dozen other right-to-life provisions that protect you from having to pay for abortions are up for grabs in Washington.

To the editor:
The secular press typically does not distinguish embryonic stem-cell research from adult stem-cell research. At this point in time there is not a documented cure from the application of embryonic stem-cell research. On the other hand, according to Archbishop Rino Fisichella, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, adult stem-cell research has led to the cure of some 2,000 diseases.

Dear Shirley Abrahamson,
